Arista CCS-720DP-48S-2F | 720D 48-Port Gigabit PoE+ Switch, 745W, 4x 10G SFP+

Q: What PoE standards does the CCS-720DP-48S-2F support?
A: The switch supports 802.3af and 802.3at PoE+ standards, delivering up to 30W per port with a total PoE budget of 745W across all 48 ports. This makes it suitable for powering IP cameras, wireless access points, and IoT devices.

Q: Can this switch be managed via the cloud?
A: Yes, the CCS-720DP-48S-2F supports Arista CloudVision for cloud-based management, providing automated provisioning, real-time telemetry, change control, and continuous compliance monitoring alongside traditional CLI, SNMP, and web management.

Q: Does this switch support MLAG for redundancy?
A: Yes, it supports MLAG (Multi-Chassis Link Aggregation) using IEEE 802.3ad LACP, enabling active-active or active-standby redundant deployments for high-availability campus architectures without traditional stacking.

Q: What Layer 3 routing protocols are available?
A: The switch supports full Layer 3 routing including OSPF, OSPFv3, BGP, MP-BGP, IS-IS, and RIPv2. It also supports wire-speed VRF segmentation, VXLAN overlays, and EVPN for modern campus fabric deployments.

Q: Is the power supply redundant?
A: Yes, the CCS-720DP-48S-2F includes dual redundant 950W AC power supplies with front-to-rear airflow, ensuring continued operation if one power supply fails. Redundant fans are also included for cooling reliability.
